3224 La Balme Trail

This custom 4 BR, 3.5BA 3660 sq. ft. ranch has recently been renovated for easy living and entertaining. Covington Lake Estates is a fabulous neighborhood with only 50 homes on large, secluded lots conveniently located in SW Fort Wayne near coffee shops, grocery stores, shopping centers, award-winning schools, and the FW Trail system. New owners will enjoy the community’s private lake to fish, canoe, or explore the island. This home boasts of a large formal living room with bay window and equally impressive formal dining room. Every room has been repainted a soft, neutral palette along with new trim + baseboards throughout. What was once 3 separate rooms (kitchen, family room and nook) has been rebuilt to be an impressive open area with a chef-inspired kitchen with custom cabinets, expansive center island with large sink + gorgeous quartz counters, double oven, gas range, heated porcelain tile floors + a wine cooler in the adjacent wet bar area. This area is open to the family room w/gas log fireplace + built-ins and eating area. Don’t miss the Butler’s Kitchen just behind the home’s half bath! This was once the laundry room. New owners could easily convert this space back to the laundry room, if desired. A guest room (or home office) with double doors is just off this area and has a bump out for a bed or desk. The master bedroom is a retreat all its own with tray ceiling and is open to a separate seating/exercise area (owners have enough extra flooring to replace the rubber floors, if desired) and has an exterior door to the home’s 2nd backyard patio. The recently renovated ensuite has a walk-in tile/glass shower, heated floors, dual (copper) sinks with quartz counters, heated floors, and a stand-alone copper/mosaic bubble soaking tub. Note: A portion of the backyard was recently seeded and will firm up when the grass takes root in the spring. The amenities in this home are endless, including the indoor/outdoor sound system and 2nd detached oversized garage for 2 additional cars and room for a work area. What we love: The gorgeous views from the vaulted ceiling in the open living areas that will truly take your breath away!
